Abstract
A thermal insulated composite wall panel for use in insulated trailers, containers and insulated compartments, including a first liner panel, a second liner panel having a layer of fibers and at least one structural polymer resin layer disposed coplanar to and bonded with the layer of fibers, thereby forming a laminate liner panel, and an insulated core layer disposed intermediate to and bonded with the first and the second liner panels. The layer of fibers is adjacent the insulated core layer and is lofted prior to being bonded to the insulated core layer.
Claims22
A thermal insulated composite wall panel for use in insulated trailers, containers and insulated compartments comprising:
- a. a first liner panel;
- b. a second liner panel having,
- a layer of fibers, and
- at least one structural polymer resin layer disposed coplanar to and bonded with the layer of fibers, thereby forming a laminate liner panel;
- and
- c. an insulated core layer disposed intermediate to and bonded with the first and the second liner panels,
- wherein the layer of fibers is adjacent the insulated core layer and is lofted prior to being bonded to the insulated core layer.
A cargo compartment pulled by a motorized vehicle, the cargo compartment comprising:
- a. a floor supported by a wheeled chassis;
- b. a roof;
- and
- c. a first side wall extending vertically between the roof and a side edge of the floor, wherein at least one of the first side wall, the floor and the roof is formed from at least one thermal insulated composite panel having
- a first liner panel,
- a second liner panel having
- a layer of non-woven fibers, and
- a structural polymer resin layer disposed coplanar to and bonded with the layer of non-woven fibers, and
- an insulated core layer disposed intermediate to and bonded with the first and second liner panels,
- wherein the layer of non-woven fibers is adjacent the insulated core layer and is lofted prior to being bonded to the insulated core layer.
